GHIOOT, AT MANHATTAN, THE MINSTRELS. SEES Lew Dockstader's Idea Burnt-Cork Show Should Be. mingtrel whould be. Dockatader stands for the newer ele- ment of minstrelsy, e changed. In place of end men with red plush coats, there are but two chairs for the ends, and these are filed in rotation by Dockstader himself, Carroll Johnson, Leonard and Ed mployed in the orches- ind the bones, one of the early arks of minstrelay, are entirely @one away with. ‘The first part, which Is called the Hall of Fame, is a gorgeous creation of blue and gilt. There is a band of thirty-five w forty pleces, with a round dozen of vocalists, and all are dressed in dinner fackéts with white vests. The effect is meat and to the modern eye more at- tractive than the old circus poster style of dressing, which was once considered absolutely essential. Of the vocalists, Manuel Romain scored by far the strongest hit. with “I Loved You Once, [ Scorn You Now." He has a very fair | grams, and finally the ship strikes the voice, and takes the honors from Fred- wick V, Bowers, who Is supposed to be the star vocalist this season. Gowers, who with his partner, Charles Horwitz, has written some capital songs, pears to have lost what little voice he once possessed. His middle and lower reg- isters are forced and distressing, while Ys top notes are catarrhal in their na- ality. Mr, Bowers should consult both & medical and vocal specialist. He made & decided hit in spite of these draw- backs and insisted upon singing one verse each of his various songs. One strange thing about the minstrel performance 1s tho willingness of the audience to be entertained. This seems to be the American's prenatal gift for to us trom the days of our fathers and forefathers. ‘When Carroll Johnson told some of the jokes which did not go very well in vaudeville the audience shrieked, and when Dockstader exhibited a couple of really good songs he had to take a dozen moores. The best comedy song of the ayening was bis “It's the Dutch.” Some pf the applaure called out by this song bhreatened to split the awnings. ‘The leading attraction In the vaude- wille part of the programme js “The Emperial Boy Hussars,” thirty young q@en who play several selections, and who present the unusval spectacla of thirty Germans in black face being led by a wihitesfaced subject of the Em- peror Francis Joseph, with @ green pompam in his cap. To further mix the nationalities he played “T! Ster- Spangled Banner” and “Dixie.” They @bould call that specialty “fhe Mingling @¢ the tions." They play fairly RIOT OF ICE CREAM AT OUNN'S OUTING Eighteen Hours of Continuous Joy for the Host of Healthy Youngsters in Ex-Sheriff’s District at Sulzer’s Park. There was a sharp demand for ipecac tend paragoric along the Harlem slopes warly to-day, and the brisk westerly Wreeze wafted a low, plaintive moan @en to the broad stretches of Astoria pesture land. Ex-Sheriff Thomas J. Dunn, leader of the Twenty-sixth Assembly District and ‘iam P.

At the firat council of the Delawares & discuss a fitting pow-wow the con- wentional chowder and summer-night @estival were suggested at length.

Occasionally the proceedings are stopped for the receipt of Marconi- lower harbor in Flatiron Bullding and the Vgrts go out, ‘The comedian returns to tell of his automobile experiences, and in the crisp Uttle monologue he offers some new suggestions regarding tals popular sport. For an encore he gives a pantomime, demonstrating the facts already stated, employing the funniest automobile ever seen upon the stage. In his single specialties Mr. Dock- stader has always leaned toward origi- nality, ‘This time he has hit vpon a really good idea, one of the best he has had. ‘Tae Ford brothers offer gome excellent buck dancing in wooden sole shoes, and there are two scenes.
